Dear Shipmates

Introduction

64 year old, avid sailor, with more than ten years spent in regatta (corinthian) and navigation experience, sail instructor and member of the commision for releasing the Italian yacht license, well trained in safety procedures on board, is looking for opportunities to join the superyacht industry with the aim of a career change.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidycommitteddiligentdiscreetorganisedrespectfulskilledtrustworthyconfident swimmergood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alleager to learn & workpolitepositive outlooksense of humordon't mind cleaningcan follow ordersenjoy teaching

Looking back I realize that my working life has developed with career changes every about 10 years:
10 years of activity in import-export customs procedures,
10 years in selling luxury products,
15 years managing sales teams and then my own small business of importing racing bicycle components,
5 years of caring non-self-sufficient people in nursing homes and hospitals.
Today, with no more family commitments, I would like to plan my next 10 years at sea. No just being a sailing instructor (as I am now) but as a full time professional seafarer. Deckhand at the beginning to progress to Officer/Captain in the yacht industry in order to gain a full understanding how to manage a crew and a yacht with owner and friends.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

For the sense of freedom I feel at sea and for the marvel that this vastness causes in me. Gaining money will help me establish a sailing school or to enhance one already in the business.
